Pros

I get paid extremely well to work with caring people on challenging engineering problems for a product that I believe in from the comfort of my home office. Oh, and that product is GitHub! This is the best job I've ever had.

Cons

GitHub is growing rapidly, so there's a lot to do. It's easy to overcommit yourself into a bad work/life balance, or find yourself in need of work from an overloaded team. As long as you're mindful of those edges and ensure you're working on important things, you can create quite a place for yourself here.

Pros

Remote work with some really great team mates

Currently GitHub seems to be all over the place and with some key Leadership moving on, the replacements seem to be mainly coming from MSFT.
